By now I should be well on my way to Singapore (yay!) to visit my cousin and aunt. I spoke to her just recently to do some basic planning and see if she wanted me to bring anything. Living here all the time, it's really easy to forget that many people around the world don't have access to the same things as we do. For example, my aunt (who lives in China and is only visiting Singapore) is diabetic and always asks us to bring her artificially sweetened chocolates, which she can't get at home. Just off the top of my head, I recall that many of you in Europe can't get your hands on graham crackers, while we Americans have a heck of a time finding fresh passionfruit here. Though I enjoy the interconnectedness of our modern world in many respects, I must say it reassures me in some weird way that some things are still limited. Well that's all for my weekly rambling...hope you enjoy this week's picks =D!

I'm enjoying this every Tuesday. I'll take time to visit and read their post till next Tuesday... Have a wonderful trip to Singapore! I now know several blogger friends there and I wish to visit one day.. :-)

So kind of you to include my Rosemary rolls....yay. Have a fabulous time in Singapore and make sure you relax but take a lot of pictures as well. And yes, my FIL always ordered diabetic chocolates when we used to live in London!
